Abstract
This final part of the series on The Army Dental Corps during the Seco nd World War continues with the stories of dental personnel who were c aptured and incarcerated in the prisoner of war camps in the Far East. What is remarkable about all of these stories is the evident spirit t o survive and determination to keep life, which was often hellish, as near to normality as was conceivably possible.
